Which way am I going? I am utterly stunned and alittle confused, and I did alittle victory dance in the kitchen this morning.

I don't often dance in my kitchen but alittle celebration is in order today. My left ovary decided to come to the party. I have always been a little bit of a late bloomer. I am now looking at a right side of 19, 14 and 10 follies and a left side of 9, 8, 8 follies. In 2 days I have gone from 2 to 6 follies. And my left ovary suddenly decided to join in. I was starting to think the whole left side was a dud, with the blocked tube and all. Go late bloomers!

What does this mean in english? We are again switching back from IUI to IVF. Yes, Yes, I know I was just moved to IUI two days ago and now we are going back to Plan A. I am going to stay with the current stims I am taking and we go back on Thursday to check with another ultrasound and bloodwork. If all looks good then we have a retrieval date of saturday the 9th or there abouts. Did I mention that I got a post card in the mail from my regular OB/GYN to remind me to come in for a check up. Yeah, um, I really want to spend more of my life having yet another person up there? -- I am getting a wee bit too much traffic in that area- and if this all works- the OB/GYN will be peering up there soon enough. No need to rush it along- I don't think the view has changed in some time.

So there ya go. Back to Plan A. And DH gets home today! Yipee.

Yay! Welcome to the party, lefties!

Sheesh! I mean, I'm glad it's good news today but does it have to be so up and down? No no - I'm not knocking those upswings. Love them. But I'd ditch them all for a mediocre fertility story. You know - sex, pregnant, baby...

Don't *do* that, Ellie's Ovaries. We were worried sick.

That's great news! I'm glad leftie is pitching in. Funny you got a notice from your OBGyn--I just got one this week too. Uh, don't think I'll be going there this month. Like you said, there's enough cooks in the kitchen at the moment.
